Wilson (dir.) Symposia. Pragmatism and Idealism European Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy, X-2 | 2018 4 Introduction to Pragmatism and Idealism Paul Giladi and Aaron B. Wilson Introduction 1 Recent years have seen increased interest in the complex relationships between the thought of German Idealists (understood to include both transcendental and absolute idealists) and the thought of those philosophers commonly categorized as “American Pragmatists” – from Charles S. Peirce (the progenitor of this alleged tradition) to Richard Rorty and his student, Robert Brandom. This issue presents a collection of papers that, as a collection, do justice to those complex relationships, neither pretending that idealism and pragmatism are natural allies, nor pretending that they are, essentially, rivals. Readers who seek critical perspectives on these relationships will find this issue has much to offer. However, there is also no shortage of insights on the agreements or points of convergence between idealism and pragmatism. This mixed approach to their relationships, even if it is ultimately more critical than it is positive, reflects the very attitudes of many pragmatist authors toward the thought of German Idealists, from Peirce’s and Dewey’s own mixed evaluations of Kant and Hegel, to Lewis’s rejection of the transcendental a priori in favor of the “pragmatic a priori,” to figures such as Royce, who sees his work as both Hegelian and pragmatist. Inasmuch as pragmatist authors themselves comprise an extended and querulous family, so in relating them to the German Idealists, we only extend that querulous family even further. 2 We begin with Willem deVries’s “From Idealism to Pragmatism: a Matter of Evolution.” Distinguishing between two modern types of idealism, one motivated by epistemological concerns and traceable to Descartes, and the other motivated directly by metaphysical concerns and characteristic of Hegel, deVries argues that pragmatism is distinct from idealism, as pragmatists are motivated most directly by a concern for practice, such as (in Peirce) the practice of inquiry. But while pragmatism never falls back into idealism, it has in common with idealism “the priority of system.” Next is European Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy, X-2 | 2018 5 Vincent Colapietro’s “Actuality and Intelligibility,” which turns to Peirce’s famous criticism of Hegel, that, in his system, Hegel fails to give proper priority to the role of “Secondness” or “active oppugnancy” in experience, making “Thirdness” or reason the primary metaphysical principle. Colapietro argues that, to the contrary, a deeper look at the role of conflict in Hegel’s system shows not only that this criticism is unfair, but also, Hegel and Peirce aside, how akin experience and reason actually are. Continuing with Peirce, Aaron B. Wilson contends that, while Peirce’s philosophy is not consistent with idealism insofar as the latter assumes we can have a priori knowledge, Peirce’s “hypothesis of the Final Opinion” can be viewed as a “transcendental feature” of his system, as it explains how knowledge in general is possible; moreover, it does so in a way that resembles the “Absolute” of absolute idealism. However, the hypothesis of the Final Opinion is not epistemically independent of experience, since the hypothesis is an abduction from experience. 3 Turning to other members of the pragmatist family, in “Reclaiming the Power of Thought,” Jörg Volbers examines Dewey’s own ambivalent attitude toward idealism. Dewey at once defends idealism as an historical improvement over authority-based systems, and criticizes it for subordinating practical activity to intellectual activity. For Dewey, both forms of activity form a dynamic, temporal whole, which is key to understanding experience and rationality. In “Voluntarism: A Difference that Makes the Difference between German Idealism and American Pragmatism?,” Daniel Brunson examines how Royce’s voluntarism, which treats will as more fundamental (metaphysically) than intellect, offers a way of distinguishing between idealism and pragmatism. Providing rich historical detail, Brunson surveys the thought of and exchanges between Royce, Peirce, Dewey, Schiller and others to suggest how any contest between idealism and pragmatism could be recast as one between intellectualism and voluntarism. The influence of the early pragmatists notwithstanding, Terry Pinkard’s “Conceptualistic Pragmatism” contends that the thought of C. I. Lewis was the dominate formative influence in the development of post- war pragmatism, providing the framework for Quine, Sellars, Rorty and Brandom. Further, although there are important differences between Lewis and the post-Kantian idealists, Lewis engages the very debates the German idealists had among themselves, thereby passing those debates onto the post-war pragmatists. Finally, in “Hegel and the Ethics of Brandom’s Metaphysics,” Jonathan Lewis examines Brandom’s appropriation of key themes in German Idealism, particularly the normativity of meaning, and argues that, unlike Hegel, Brandom fails to respect the ethical dimensions of this normativity. Brandom mistakenly divorces ethical concerns from meaning normativity; but Lewis suggests that a Hegelian solution to this inadequacy in Brandom would undercut a key assumption of his inferential semantics.

WILSON South Texas College awilson3[at]southtexascollege.edu European Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy, X-2 | 2018 7 From Idealism to Pragmatism A Matter of Evolution Willem A. deVries 1 Pragmatism has long been recognized to have close ties to Idealism. Indeed, there have been arguments that pragmatism must itself be a form of idealism.1 I do not think such arguments hold up, but I would not deny for a second that there is a deep relationship between idealism and pragmatism. I want to tell a story about the changing nature of idealism that makes sense of their relationship without threatening to collapse one into the other. My story is a history, and idealism’s history began hundreds of year before pragmatism entered the stage, so I beg the readers’ indulgence: it will take me some time to set the table before we are prepared to discuss the relation of pragmatism to idealism. To foreshadow: I take it to be clear that pragmatism has very little in common with the subjective idealism of Berkeley or the problematic idealism of Descartes; the differences between idealism and pragmatism get blurred only because idealism underwent an evolution that so transformed it, not long before pragmatism emerged, that it might seem a small step between them. It was, according to my story, the evolved idealism developed in Germany between 1781 and 1831 that contributed to the formation and development of pragmatism. Yet pragmatism is a large evolutionary step away from idealism, however much it retains

  • Artificial Intelligence/Artificial Wisdom
    Artificial Intelligence/Artificial Wisdom - A Drive for Improving Behavioral and Mental Health Care (06 September to 10 September 2021) Department of Computer Science & Information Technology Central University of Jammu, J&K-181143 Preamble An Artificial Intelligence is the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behaviour. Machine learning is based on the idea that machines should be able to learn and adapt through experience. Machine learning is a subset of AI. That is, all machine learning counts as AI, but not all AI counts as machine learning. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology holds both great promises to transform mental healthcare and potential pitfalls. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly employed in healthcare fields such as oncology, radiology, and dermatology. However, the use of AI in mental healthcare and neurobiological research has been modest. Given the high morbidity and mortality in people with psychiatric disorders, coupled with a worsening shortage of mental healthcare providers, there is an urgent need for AI to help identify high-risk individuals and provide interventions to prevent and treat mental illnesses. According to the publication Spectrum News, a form of AI called "deep learning" is sometimes better able than human beings to spot relevant patterns. This five days course provides an overview of AI approaches and current applications in mental healthcare, a review of recent original research on AI specific to mental health, and a discussion of how AI can supplement clinical practice while considering its current limitations, areas needing additional research, and ethical implications regarding AI technology. The proposed workshop is envisaged to provide opportunity to our learners to seek and share knowledge and teaching skills in cutting edge areas from the experienced and reputed faculty.

  • John William Miller and the Ontology of the Midworld by Robert S
    John William Miller and the Ontology of the Midworld by Robert S. Corrington (Posted with the permission of the Charles S. Peirce Society and Robert S. Corrington. The essay originally appeared, in a slightly different form, in the Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society 22 [1986]: 165- 188. The pagination of this version does not conform to the pagination of the original document.) One curious feature of the American philosophical tradition is its ability to sustain and nurture fundamental reflection in an age in which such thinking is held to be antediluvian. The flood waters of scepticism and deconstruction seem to have rendered general categorical reflection powerless. Any talk about nature or world strikes contemporary fashion as a throwback to a pre-critical era in which philosophers naively trusted in their ability to overcome the imperial projections of a self which was unable, because of its fragmented state, to justify such projections. To attempt to reflect outside of the paradigm of the text is to evidence a serious insensitivity to the hermeneutic turn which has supposedly swept all historical debris from its path. The felony is compounded when it is asserted that the tradition of metaphysics has deposited recognizable and vigorous outcroppings of truth in its movement toward validation. What for some appears as a geological formation of great strength and beauty appears to the contemporary gaze as an obstruction to its open movement and hermeneutic free play. Were we to join in the chorus of doubting Thomases we would have little time for a perspective which affirms the ability of human probing to make sense of our history and our world.

They have severe limitation in both the arms and the legs and have very poor trunk control. Sports Available: • Race Runner (RR1) – using the Race Runner frame to run, track events include 100m, 200m and 400m. • Boccia o Boccia Class 1 (BC1) – players who fit into this category can throw the ball onto the court or a CP2 Lower who chooses to push the ball with the foot. Each BC1 athlete has a sport assistant on court with them. o Boccia Class 3 (BC3) – players who fit into this category cannot throw the ball onto the court and have no sustained grasp or release action. They will use a “chute” or “ramp” with the help from their sport assistant to propel the ball. They may use head or arm pointers to hold and release the ball. Players with a impairment of a non cerebral origin, severely affecting all four limbs, are included in this class. Class 2 (CP2) These athletes have poor strength or control all limbs but are able to propel a wheelchair. Some Class 2 athletes can walk but can never run functionally. The class 2 athletes can throw a ball but demonstrates poor grasp and release.
